The working principle of high pressure pumps for waterjet cutting is based on the so called pressure intensification. The oil pressure generated in the hydraulic drive is increased to an operating pressure up to 420 MPa, in accordance with the surface ratio of the low pressure piston on the oil side to high pressure plunger on the water side.
Pumps of series ECOTRON® and HYTRON® are available. Depending on pump type the operating pressure is continuously adjustable up to 420 MPa. Flow rates of 0.8 up to 7,6 l/min are provided, with power ratings from 7.5 to 75 kW.
For pure waterjet and abrasive waterjet cutting all required tubings and fittings as well as waterjet valves, abrasive heads and abrasive dosing systems are available.
